3 Ways You Can Make Your Event Attendee Badges Smarter

The event industry is growing and there’s no room for small players. With the event tech leaders creating not only better products, but more affordable ones, there’s no excuse for basic events! Turn a small element of your event into something greater! Here are three ways you can make your event attendee badges smarter…

QR Codes

If you’re going to use the standard method of printed cards in a lanyard, at least upgrade the technology! Barcodes and QR codes can make event attendee badges far more superior! Think of scan-in entrances, a database system of profiling information per guest, able to load in seconds, and the ease of networking by scanning other guests’ codes. It’s easy, it’s quick, it’s cheap and will definitely enhance your event!

Wristbands and wearable technology

Wearable technology, such as electronic bracelets and pin badges, not only allow you to add more personal touches, such as branding colours, but also allows for push notifications and engagement. Nudge guests with vibrations and use lighting to make them a part of the display. Organise games and interactive activities such as voting, grouping by colour and interactive presentation slides.

Charger passes

When it comes to events and souvenirs, gimmicks can go either way! Event tech, however, can never be a gimmick! Give your guests something multi-purpose and, even better, useful! Charger passes have become a popular event attendee badge alternative, especially if your event is exciting enough to be filmed and photographed!
